keyword highlight file for Gedit? - REXX

This is a discussion on keyword highlight file for Gedit? - REXX ; Hi all,
Has anyone here by chance created a Rexx keyword highlighting file for
Gedit, the Gnome editor? (In its standard installation, Gedit supports
highlighting for many languages, but not Rexx.)
Rather not reinvent the wheel...

Hmm, not that I know of, so if you come up with one, would you please share that?

Maybe the ooRexx syntax-highlighting for vim could be of help in your endeavor? If so, here is a
version that does syntax highlighting for vim (cf. <http://www.vim.org> for versions for many
operating systems): <http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/rexx/misc/rexx.vim>.

HTH,

This applies to Ubuntu and Fedora; for other Linux/unix distros, the
location may be different.

Colin, thank you very much (also for the directions)!

Whenever you have plans for syntax highlighting for ooRexx, please let me know and I would try to
write up a small set of rules for that language.
